We often see changes in approach whenever a new government takes over.

But our approach to climate change, the commitments we've made and the promises we are fulfilling, shouldnt be something we're afraid of.

@BBCRadioKent The article says it will power 10,000 homes per year but that’s what they said about Cleve Hill near Faversham (91,000 homes)… only for Tesco to buy 65% of it’s output

@ClemCowton Or we could kill off marginal pricing

@curiousg3orge @g__j The land is already in use, let's make it work harder. I like your thinking. Want a job? 😉

@g__j This graph is from the House of Commons Library research briefing on Contracts for Difference https://t.co/1pOlMirzax

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

@g__j We agree with you. The worry is that if we have to rely on legislation change, when CfD has rarely shown to give back to the consumer, we might be waiting a very long time.

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

@OctopusEnergy The issue is @g__j , that other energy companies don’t want to see that £55bn reduction in revenue. Their shareholders certainly don’t

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

A little something we put together to help people understand how the U.K. energy market works & how it’s priced. Local renewable energy generation should mean cheaper prices for consumers because it’s cheaper to deliver to us.

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

@julesserkin @vanillaweb Yes, @curiousg3orge is still in Whitstable

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

It’s got to have been over 3 years since we were last on the #BBunker Radio Show. Looking forward to updating @vanillaweb & @Diamond1Julie with what we’ve been up to.
Tune in at 1pm on Tuesday 14th Jan https://t.co/kWZluMcYPH 👍

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

We have had some pretty major milestones over the past few years.

From appearing on @BBCWorld News with our first carbon fibre turbine to installing on @TheO2 Arena for prototype testing… and now this!

@JordeeBrompton Well that’s a bit stunning 👏👏

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

@ELPinchbeck Do you have a cape to go with that title?

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

@redbull @JaanRoose Noooo! Jaan Roose was only 80m from the end when he slipped but rules state his distance is only validated on a completed run.

Hoping he has another crack at it. Still a record holder in our books. 👏👏

@ron_rapp2 @unisouthampton It is

[Alpha 311 @311Alpha]

Wind turbines don't have to be #offshorewind

Here's our small, modular #onshorewind turbine being put through its paces in the wind tunnel at @unisouthampton
